My 8-week-old kitten ate a mouse. Will she be okay after eating it?

Question

My cat came in with a mouse and ate everything except the part cats usually leave. My 8 week old kitten then ate that part. Will she be okay? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 20 days old

Probably. The whole mouse is technically edible for cats. A lot of hair or bones could cause an obstruction in a kitten, so I would monitor Holly for decreased appetite or vomiting. If this occurs, have her examined by a vet.
